*.* another day... *.*
It's just another day
Life's wasting away
The rain is falling, the skies are grey
My mood is unstable
I feel like I'm unable
To control myself anymore.
Where is my hope?
Where is my joy?
Lost, Vanished, Gone.
What is left for me?
What can I hold onto?
Nothing, practically nothing.
A spiritual high
It comes and goes
As though it never came
I mustn't slip
Into so many lies
The predator prowls on...
He sneaks up on me
Grabs my weakest spot
Tosses me till I'm almost done for
Who then, will rescue me?
Who then, will take me out of my misery?
Whose battle is this?
It's God's.
Why surrender myself to the prince
When it is the King who reigns?
Why subject myself to torture
When the battle has already been won?
Amnesia.
I forget.
Every day.
My root in sin is held fast
My heart pulls away from
God, who loves me.
Why?
Why can't I trust every day?
Why can't I be a warrior?
Why can't I find joy?
Why can't I share God's love?
Or did I also forget that
I can?
For God so loved the world
that He gave his one and only Son.
That whoever believes in Him shall not perish
But have eternal life.
For God did not send His Son into the world to condemn the world
But to save the world through Him.
A lasting promise.
A lasting hope.
A lasting joy.
A lasting love.
A lasting gift.
The prize for our faith.
I will take up my cross
Put on the full armour of God
Stand at the frontline
Of the deadliest battle
For the victory is ours
And the battle is the Lord's.
Even youths grow tired and weary
And young men stumble and fall
But those who hope in the Lord will renew their strength
They will soar on wings like eagles
The will run and not grow weary
They will walk and not be faint.
It's just another day
Come what may
Lord, this is all I pray
Take me, mould me, use me, fill me
Call me, guide me, lead me, walk beside me
Till the end of this race.
I will be victorious.
